14 Series

John Connolly is an Irish novelist known for his crime fiction series featuring private detective Charlie Parker. He has also written several standalone novels, some of which have been adapted into films, and supernatural short stories. His work is influenced by authors such as James Lee Burke, Ed McBain, and Ross Macdonald.

John Connolly's "The Infernals," also known as "Hell's Bells," follows the misadventures of Samuel Johnson and his dachshund, Boswell, as they navigate the perils of Hell. In "Inherit the Dead," a collaborative novel, various authors contribute to a gripping tale of mystery and suspense. The "Chronicles of the Invaders" series, co-authored with Jennifer Ridyard, explores a dystopian world where humans and invaders clash. "Filthy Rich," written with James Patterson and Tim Malloy, delves into the dark underbelly of wealth and power. Each work showcases Connolly's versatility across genres, from supernatural to crime and science fiction.
